Wallachian Couple

Capateneni, Couple

I was walking down a street in a small village and came across this couple. I asked if I could take a picture of them, and the woman ran inside to change her clothes. I was hoping to get a picture of them that appeared more natural, like I first saw them, and asked them to perhaps touch a flower, like they were working with it.  They promptly cut a couple of flowers and held them up like this.  They were really friendly and trying so hard to cooperate with what I wanted, despite the language barrier.  In the end, I think I like this picture much more than what I was trying to achieve.
